Anyways, don't look now folks but Ortio just put up his 1st AHL shut out tonight, and is now 9-0-0 with the Heat this season.
2.20 GAA and a 0.930 save %

Ortio has been great in Abby, but I would like to point out 3 things:
1) He is only 23, so we shouldn't rush him
2) The NHL is a huge step up.
3) The Heat are poised to possibly make a deep run in the playoffs, so Ortio would be better off there, winning, than on a lousy NHL club, losing every night (Berra and Ramo are older and are in a better position to handle it).
It is awesome that Ortio is playing well, but it's a rebuild so let's not rush anything.
